« on: November 05, 2011, 10:21:01 am »

Remember this is just a pre-release and it's not the full version.


Found new features? What are you waiting for, add them here!



Wanna download 1.9 from the official links?
Here you go

Client http://assets.minecraft.net/1_9-pre5/minecraft.jar
Server http://assets.minecraft.net/1_9-pre5/minecraft_server.jar

-What to expect for PreRelease 6
*Square Moon/Sun
*Water physics fixed
*Explosion damage 'fixed'.




Mobs
  *Squids swim up. Passive squid animation is now vertical.
    *Slimes no longer have a 'depth y0-16' restriction.
      *Pigmen no longer accumulate fall damage while swimming in lava.
         *Ender Dragons.
           
                     * Now take damages by player.
                     *Glows purple when killed, disintegrates and floats upwards - new animation effect.
                     *Drops loads of XP and one obsidian block.
                     *Have the same eye shining thin Enderman has.
                     *Dragon makes "a player gettin hit sound" when damaged.
             
 
    *Mobs 'neutral' in creative mode. Except for spiders, ghasts, and silverfish.. Note: Enemies from spawners are still hostile.
      *Dragon Eggs. - Not in game, recently tweeted by Notch.
       *Baby animals in SMP.

 Items

      *Items retain their enchantments if chest is destroyed.
       *Fences no longer connect to leaves.
        *Lily pads are no longer gray in inventory, have a tool tip.
         *Melons breaking into more than one piece again.
           *Fixed fence "hitboxes".
             *Balancing of enchantments.
               *Find 'iron' gear in strongholds.
                *Silk touch does not work on spawners.
                 *Game Crashing piston glitch fixed.
                  *Eye of Ender now points directly to the Ender Portal.



 Controls

            #Camera Rotation:-
                    * I, J, K, L, N, and M control where your looking (I,J,K,L are up down left & right, N and M are rotations)
                     *F9 Adds a fixed camera angle. ( You can move this with I, J, K, and L)
                      *M+N resets the view. *Important*
                       *H and Y are the zoom controls
                         *H + Y together resets the zoom
                           *F9 locks your view
                             *Tweet from Jeb_ (As you know I always forget at least one thing when upload a release... The "camera controls" (F6 etc)  are not supposed to be there =/) So..don't get your hopes up. Though these features are really nice for everyone..except the flying in survival mode.                               
                               *Toggle fly with F6. Survival mode.
             #You receive a warning when changing render distance to far only if you're not running Java x64.
             #Option to turn off clouds in the video menu.

Textures/Liquid Movement Mechanics
                 
                #Texture Tweeks
                     *Gravel
                       *Glowstone
                         *Monster Spawners
                           *Iron Block
                             *Wood Planks
                               *Grass
                                 *Water
#New Water Physics for vertical movement.
#Water is back the way it was before pre4, plus:
Whenever a water source is surrounded on all sides by blocks or water (not necessarily source blocks) and it has an air block or (non source) water block below, then that air/water block turns into a water source. From Darquan (I think it is intentional. It eliminates the underwater currents when you place and remove a block. The behaviour seems to be carefully chosen such that it cannot automatically flood entire caves,       nor does it seem to break typical ways of using water for automatic harvesting.) Bug.
#Water can be placed in water again.
#"End Stone" (from The End) and "Mycelium" from the Mushroom biome!

Lava can be made infinite by digging 1 square down, and making a "plus" sign - 5 squares total. Fill the outsides with lava.

#

#

Misc.

#Lighting is different. Colors are now better matched with the color of the light source.
#Longer reach for fighting mobs.
#Creative mode - logging back in will no longer make you 'fall' from falling.
#Player bow draw-back animation improved.
#Range of attack distance in creative has Reports of better FPS.
#Balancing of enchantments.
#New Achievements
     *DIAMONDS! - Acquire diamonds with your iron tools.
      *Enchanter - Use a book, obsidian and diamonds to cunstruct an enchantment table.
       *Librarian - Build some bookshelves to improve your enchantment table.
        *Overkill - Deal eight hearts of damage in a single hit.
         *We Need to Go Deeper - Going through a portal to the Nether.
          *Return to Sender - Destroy a Ghast with a fireball.
           *Into Fire - Relieve a Blaze of its rod.
            *Local Brewery - Brew a potion.
             *The End? - Locate the End.
              *The End. - Defeat the Ender Dragon.

#Villages now have small fenced off patches of dirt with either wheat or tall grass growing in them, connected to the houses.
#Light glitch on stairs fixed.
#Jumping makes you lose xp points. Bug for some?

Sounds bad. This whole 1.9 thing just seems to be ruining it for me. I don't like endermen, nor Ender Dragons, and I guess, to be honest, I prefered 1.7.3 :/
Enchantments? Don't particularly care.
The End? Ruining my beta server I play on because they can only host 1 other world (World + Nether/End) and end sounds like it sucks.

Now... If dragon eggs hatch into dragons you can ride on, and shoot ghast fire balls with, that would be pretty boss.


Thank god I have Skyrim to keep me company :)
Also, with all this pre-release of a pre-release (beta). aren't Jeb + Notch leaving it a bit late? They need to get 1.9 + 2.0 out before release (Last I heard was 11.11.11).

I don't like endermen,

And I can't say obsidian towers particularly inspire excitement in me :/ It seems Notch thinks "Uh, Endermen, everyone seems to love them! Lets just make a whole world of them! So then everyone will buy Minecraft, and its easy for me to code!"

I would prefer it so much if he contacted the Aether Team. Now that would be bad ass.

Potions sound rubbish.

And book shelves have been around for a LONG, long time.
